984 I Was Wrong (M)

When the internal strife broke out within the rebel army, that is, when the old general ordered the organization of elite soldiers and horses to go out of the city to sneak attack and burn the joint camp, as a veteran general who had been marching and fighting for more than 40 years, he understood astronomy and geography, he knew the climate in this area, he knew the weather here, during this period of time, it was relatively dry, and there was wind, which was the most suitable for fire attack, and these rebel armies were worthy of being a rabble, the camp was in chaos, and the army and family members were mixed together, while fighting, There is also a woman's fire cooking on one side, is this for tourism or for war?

The rabble, a group of rabble, the dynasty was actually forced to this part by this group of rabble, it is simply impossible to imagine how strict the influence of the group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials has brought to the dynasty, after this battle, he decided to release Issam, and then join forces with Issam to rectify the dynasty, use the position of the general, take advantage of the war, sort out the entire dynasty, and re-establish the rule.

So the top priority is that before the Tang army arrived, and the fleeting opportunity to break the enemy, he used his prestige to organize a death squad, about 10,000 people, each of whom carried enough fire-starting and igniting things, the only purpose was to storm the rebel army camp on horseback, and then regardless of the qiē ignition that could be seen, even if it was to sacrifice his own life and the life of the war horse, the only goal was to burn the joint camp and destroy all the military camps outside the city that surrounded the imperial city, not at all!

The death squads were soon recruited, and the elite soldiers who fought desperately with the Romans on the frontier with the old general formed a powerful death squad, and the old general personally led the team to set off, taking advantage of the dark and high wind in the night, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the rebel army outside the city, they suddenly opened the gate that had been blocked, and roared away like a violent wind. While all the rebels were asleep, and even the soldiers of the night vigil were napping, the army suddenly attacked.

Some of the soldiers of the Night's Watch who felt the ground shake opened their confused eyes, but before they could react to what was happening, they were killed by the bright blade. It's a skyrocketing fire!

The death squads rode on their horses, constantly throwing the ignited things on the tents, on the grain and grass, on anything that could be burned, and as soon as the wind blew, the fire began to expand, and one person may not be able to make a climate, but when ten thousand people on war horses roared to the camp and began to set fire, the fire began to rage with unimaginable speed. In less than five minutes, the momentum of the fire joint camp was completed, and the crushing defeat of the rebel army was inevitable.

The rebels rushed out of the burned tents in a panic, some clothed, some naked, and it was hard to imagine what they had been doing before, some men and some women. There are small children, there are old people. Seeing this sky-high fire, without exception, they all panicked, and there was no trace of what an army should be, and when they saw the Persian cavalry on their horses and frantically brandishing their swords, they made a decision without exception - run!

Running alone is nothing. But a cavalry rushed over and a group of people ran, that was the problem, men, women, old people and children began to run wildly, men were screaming, women were crying. The children were crying, but no one would protect them, no one could save them, the Persian officers and soldiers in the city saw the fire ignited, knew that it had been done, and hurriedly dispatched troops to rush out to help the battle, 40,000 troops poured out of the imperial city, began to counterattack, the whole world seemed to be filled with shouts and screams.

The old general looked at this qiē coldly, and indifferently issued an order to kill, surrender is okay, accept it temporarily, and when the battle is over, all of them will be buried alive to shock the whole country! The sword of war is a certain sword, and the sword is a sword

The total collapse can not be reversed, the complete rout of the rebel army has been settled, 50,000 Persian officers and soldiers with the help of strong winds and fires, completed the last glorious victory in the history of the Persian Empire, 50,000 defeated and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of rebels, according to post-war statistics, the total strength of the rebel army is around 500,000 people, plus the families of the army, etc., about 1 million people, but they were all defeated by 50,000 officers and soldiers with fire, killed more than 100,000 rebels, captured more than 200,000, and their families and the like were either burned to death or trampled to death, in the chaos of the armyWomen, children and the elderly have no chance of survival.

The number of these family members is even above the combat soldiers, and the number of losses is also shocking, but most of them were not killed by the Persian officers and soldiers, nor were they burned to death, but trampled to death, in the chaotic escape brigade, as long as you accidentally fall, there will be no chance to get up, so when the old general saw this with his own eyes, he also felt shocked, and it was difficult to look directly.

Having said that, the old general has already been like a stone, a fire destroyed more than one million rebel troops and their families, and I don't know how many rebel troops and rebel leaders were killed, the western rebel army was basically wiped out, and the eastern rebel army was still jointly attacking the Tang army, the old general sent 30,000 border troops and more than 100,000 temporarily recruited militia to form an army, go to the last eastern province to form the last line of defense, buy time for them, calculate the time, it should be about the same.

There was a fire to deal with the corpses, and the old general was not in a hurry to dispose of the corpses, but only cared about leading the army to rush and kill, and cut and kill the living people when he saw them, no matter who it was, whether it was the man or woman, the old man or the child, when he saw the people who knelt down and surrendered, he indifferently ordered them to get aside, and then led the troops to rush and kill, and when the battle was over, he ordered the soldiers to organize the surrendered people to dig a pit.

Obviously, the rebels and their families who surrendered did not know the specific use of these pits, so they dug the pits honestly, and did not have any resistance, saving the old general from ordering the soldiers to suppress, and the main military forces went to pursue the fleeing rebels, and there were less than a thousand people left to take care of the tens of thousands of surrenderers.

Until dawn, the darkest hour has passed, and a hint of fish belly white appears on the horizon. The bloodied old general returned triumphantly with tens of thousands of soldiers who were also covered in blood with a large group of captives who could not see the edge, and when he saw that the pit had been dug, he gave an order to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers were obviously stunned, and then asked again uncertainly, and the old general gave an affirmative answer.

The pro-soldier hesitated for a moment. He went to the general in charge of the prisoners of war, and whispered to him: "The general asks you to first let these prisoners bury all the corpses, and then set them on fire, and then you lead the army to push all the prisoners here into the pit and kill them together, leaving no men, women, old and young!" ”

The general in charge was also stunned, and looked at the old general with a stern face. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said uncertainly: "At least 100,000 people, right?" Bury alive? Pit killing? ”

The pro-soldier nodded: "This is what the general meant, we can only do it!" ”

The general in charge could only nod, saluted the old general, and ordered to go down this matter, and the soldiers who learned about this matter were also stunned, but the absolute prestige and majesty of the old general made them dare not resist, so they could only do so. Arrange for all captives to throw all the bodies into the pit, whether charred or whole. They were all thrown into the pit, then set on fire, and burned, and the thick black smoke made everyone feel pungent and uncomfortable.

The rebels, who had lost their backbone and the will to fight, did not notice that all the soldiers were quietly preparing as they gradually cleaned up the corpses. The entire Dakeng area was surrounded, and the bright blade had already been revealed, faintly surrounding all the surrenderers, regardless of men, women, old and children, the number of surrenderers was not the largest. Seventy or eighty thousand troops could be completely surrounded, most of the rebels still fled, and the old general could not catch too much, so he could only kill them.

After this battle, the main force and all the organizations of the western rebel army were destroyed, including the first rebel army of Isam's hometown, but it is a pity that their leaders were not caught, nor killed, but all fled, no one knows where they went, the old general is still a little worried, they will come back, so the old general chose to kill all the rebels at any cost, let them know the fate of rebels, and cut off the possibility of the rebels coming back, Prepare for the army to resist the invasion of the Don army with all its might.

If these rebels stay, who knows if they will collude with the Eastern Rebel Army and the Tang Army to make a comeback, the only way is to kill them all!

The last corpse was thrown into the pit and burned, and the countdown to the life of the rebels was over, the general in charge drew his sword and shouted, and all the troops were lined up in a neat formation, and went towards the captives who were standing around the pit and surrounded in the position of killing the enemy on the battlefield, and the captives were stunned, until the outermost group of people were flying flesh and blood under the shadow of the sword and sword, they realized that the officers and soldiers did not intend to pardon them, and they did not even have the opportunity to do coolies, and they would be killed directly.

If it is an ordinary season, the old general may still have a trace of unbearable, will let them use coolies as the price of the uprising, to blame the Tang army forward is less than half a day's distance from the imperial city, as soon as the battle here is over, they will immediately enter the counterattack against the Tang army, there is no more time, so, killing is the best solution.

Crying, howling, desperate cries, the cries of adults, the cries of children, the cries of women, the earth-shattering, the captives did not choose to resist, they no longer had the courage to resist, watching the murderous red-eyed officers and soldiers approaching step by step, they chose to retreat and escape, constantly fleeing inside, fleeing inside, but they were already surrounded, unable to escape, the inside was a deep pit, still burning violently and swallowing black smoke, which was the corpses of their compatriots who had just been thrown down.

Flee inside, flee inside, and the final result is to fall into the pit, burned to death by the raging fire, or smoked to death by the thick smoke, and even more tragically trampled to death outside the pit, which is also the most serious way of death for the rebels in this battle, trampled to death by their own people, the old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, are the main people who die.

When the sun showed the first golden light, there was no living rebel captive on the scarred earth, only thick black smoke and intensifying flames, the old general glanced at the pit indifferently, and gave the order for the whole army to return to the city to prepare for war, as for these pits, hand them over to the more than 1,000 soldiers and wait for the flames to be extinguished before buriing, today's matter, no one is allowed to say it, anyway, the people here, the people who should not be alive, are dead.

In this battle, according to post-war statistics, the Persian government army killed about 120,000 rebels, and the family members who went out with the rebel army were killed and wounded about 300,000, a total of more than 420,000 losses, of which 100,000 prisoners were killed alive, and the remaining more than 300,000 were killed in wars and tramplings and fires.
